Reprints are fine, worth it, especially if you are new to tractors. Another note, if you are going to be dragging logs or other things like pulling rcks. Never, but NEVER pull from anywhere but the center of the drawbar. Not way to one side, not from the rear axle, or from any lift mechanism there may be on the rear. Tractors can be easily rolled by pulling from too high up on the back. Pulling from the side can cause it to pull to one side, maybe not as hazzardous, but still not good. Always pull from the drawbar center. The front end of a B is light too. If you have a trailer of logs on the back with some good tongue weight and go up a good hill the front end can lift. You may want wheel weights on the front or some other weight. Loading the rear tires with a fluid made for the purpose will help overall stability, but give you even more traction which can also cause the front end to lift under hard pulling. I don't want to scare you, just pay attention here and be safe. Keep it in mind when pulling hard on something. The front tires were never solid I don't believe. Some Bs came with steel rears during the war when rubber was difficult to get, may have steel on the front too, but I don't think solid rubber ever. Auto tires are easy to get worn out for auto use, this is why you probably have them. Compact spare tires work too and are very reasonable at junk yards. I got one a while back for free as a matter of fact. Ribbed fribt tures turn easier, and may have more side grip in soil. Use what you have for now.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
